gitlab: add optional job to run flaky avocado tests

One problem with flaky tests is they often only fail under CI
conditions which makes it hard to debug. We add an optional allow_fail
job so developers can trigger the only the flaky tests in the CI
environment if they are debugging.

Tests should not live in this state forever and should either be fixed
or eventually removed.
To run such tests locally you will need to set the environment
variable. For example:
You can also add ``:avocado: tags=flaky`` to the test meta-data so
only the flaky tests can be run as a group:
.. code::
env QEMU_TEST_FLAKY_TESTS=1 ./pyvenv/bin/avocado run \
tests/avocado/boot_linux.py:BootLinuxPPC64.test_pseries_tcg
env QEMU_TEST_FLAKY_TESTS=1 ./pyvenv/bin/avocado \
run tests/avocado -filter-by-tags=flaky
Tests should not live in this state forever and should either be fixed
or eventually removed.
